Raspberry Pi dump1090 interactive terminal renewal

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

With an instance of dump1090 already running on a raspberry pi, how do you startup an interactive terminal session to view the flight data without restarting dump1090?

I’ve been re running dump1090 --interactive to get this, but I assume when doing this I am creating another running instance of dump1090. There must me a more efficient way to do this.

I’m viewing the terminal sessions via Putty on a PC.

Thanks in advance.

You can use view1090, which will connect to the already running dump1090 and give a similar output. I don’t know if it’s installed by default with the .deb release as I built dump1090 from git.

If you are connecting via a PC, you might as well use view1090.exe to connect directly.

Go here and search for “view1090.exe” to find the relevant section.
